This sleeveless knit top is carefully handmade from 100% silk buret Pure Silk Knitting for Olive in two treads of yarn held double in a soft yet structured
finish. The natural texture of the yarn and garter stitch creates a subtle, organic look with a gently matte surface and a
beautifully tactile feel.
The top features a minimalist silhouette with a slightly relaxed fit, allowing it to drape effortlessly on the
body. The fine garter stitch adds depth and dimension while maintaining breathability and comfort, making it
ideal for both warm days and layered styling

Magnolia Top is designed for lightweight, breathable yarns that create a soft and fluid fabric, perfect for warm weather.

✨ Suggested yarn substitutions:
Knitting for Olive Pure Silk
→ very soft with a beautiful drape, gives a slightly more refined and elegant finish.

Sandnes Garn Line (cotton, linen, viscose blend)
→ great everyday option, breathable with a slightly more structured feel.

Drops Belle (cotton, linen, viscose blend)
→ budget-friendly alternative, light and airy with a soft matte look.

** Note**
For best results, choose yarns that are:
lightweight
breathable
with good drape

Avoid very stiff cotton yarns, as they may result in a heavier fabric with less movement.
